Bryce Harper is a 17 year old can't-miss stud of a baseball player. He quit high school after his sophomore year and quickly earned his GED, which allowed him to enter this spring's amateur draft. The Washington Nationals took him with the #1 overall pick and Harper just signed a 5 year, $9.9 million contract. Not bad for age 17 (or any other age, for that matter). I look forward to seeing him play in the near future.
I'm reminded of the classic baseball comedy film Major League -- the part where, in spring training, the manager addresses "Wild Thing" Charlie Sheen and says, "Son, this is the major leagues. At this level, we wear caps and sleeves."
Here's the same advice, updated for Bryce Harper: "Son, this ain't a Kiss concert, it's the major leagues. And unless you'd like Roy Halladay to rearrange your ribcage for you, I'd suggest you wipe that fuckin' black shit off your face!"
